This Terms of Use (this “Agreement”) is prepared to reflect the operational model of BATTLEOP E-SPORT (OPC) PRIVATE LIMITED (“BATTLEOP”, “we”, “us” or “our”) and to comply with the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 and the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Rules, 2025 (together, the “Act and Rules”). The operative statutory definitions, Authority powers, registration, determination, suspension and cancellation processes under the Rules are incorporated by reference; see Annex A (Selected statutory citations and compliance covenants).
These Terms govern all access to and use of the platform, website, applications and services provided by BATTLEOP and any tournament entry pages, match pages or promotional pages through which BATTLEOP offers esports tournaments, events or other contests (collectively, the “Platform”).
By registering for an Account on the Platform or participating in any Tournament, you (the “User”, “you”) accept and agree to be bound by these Terms and any Tournament-specific rules, formats, schedules and payout tables published on the Platform (the “Platform Rules”). If you do not accept these Terms you must not register or participate.
These Terms operate subject to applicable law, including without limitation the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 and the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Rules, 2025. BATTLEOP will comply with directions and orders issued by the Authority constituted under the Act (“the Authority”) and with requirements of other competent regulators. When this Agreement refers to any statutory requirement (e.g., registration, , KYC, audit, suspension, cancellation, determination of online money games), it does so with reference to the Act and Rules.
In these Terms, unless the context otherwise requires:
Account means a User account created on the Platform.
Authority means the Authority constituted under the Act.
Entry Fee means any fee charged to register for or enter a Tournament.
Performance incentive Account means a segregated bank account designated to hold sponsor or organize; performance incentive funds and used solely for performance incentive payouts.
Platform Rules means the Tournament rulebook, formats, scoring methodology, tie-break procedures and published disqualification grounds applicable to a particular Tournament.
Tournament means any competition, match, contest or event hosted or administered by BATTLEOP in which a performance incentive may be awarded to Users.
User / Participant means any person who registers on, accesses, or uses the Platform.
e-sport / e-sports shall have the statutory meaning under the Act (an online game meeting the e-sport criteria).
Online money game means any game that meets the statutory tests for online money games in the Act and Rules. Where an online game is so determined the Authority may order its cessation and other remedies.
All other capitalised terms used in these Terms shall have the meanings set out elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Act and Rules. Where a defined statutory term is used, that statutory definition governs.
Minimum age and competence. Only persons at least 18 years old may register and participate. BATTLEOP may in its discretion require higher age or other competence thresholds for certain Tournaments or performance incentive levels.
Restricted jurisdictions. Users shall not access or participate in performance incentive tournaments from a Restricted State or jurisdiction where participation is unlawful. Users shall ensure their declared place of supply / location is accurate. BATTLEOP may restrict or block access from certain States or jurisdictions in order to comply with local laws. The Authority may require additional location checks.
Registration information. To register you must provide accurate name, DOB, contact, email, mobile, place of residence and such identity documents and KYC data as required by BATTLEOP for compliance with KYC, tax withholding and anti-money laundering obligations (see Clause 4). False, misleading or incomplete registration data is a material breach and grounds for suspension, forfeiture of performance incentive and account termination.
Account creation. Users must maintain one Account per person and not create multi-accounts except as specifically authorised. Accounts are non-transferable. We may suspend or terminate Accounts suspected of multi-accounting, collusion, or any abuse.
KYC / PAN / bank details. Winners and Users seeking withdrawals must complete KYC including identity, address, PAN and bank account details. BATTLEOP reserves the right to withhold performance incentive pending satisfactory KYC/PAN verification (PAN is mandatory where TDS or other tax reporting is required). This is necessary for tax withholding and statutory compliance.
Location verification; place of supply. BATTLEOP will collect and may verify location and device/IP data to ensure Users are not participating from Restricted States. Place-of-supply declared at registration will be used for tax and invoicing unless and until KYC updates the record.
Account security and notifications. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account credentials. You must notify BATTLEOP immediately of any unauthorised access. Notices to Users will be effective as set out in Clause 16 (Notices).
Nature of Entry Fee: Unless expressly disclosed in the Tournament description and authorised by the Authority, Entry Fees are charged solely to cover administrative, platform, streaming and event operations and do not constitute a wager or stake. Entry Fees will not be pooled to constitute except where the Authority has expressly approved such allocation in writing. The statutory framework distinguishes e-sports and online social games from online money games; BATTLEOP’s operational model follows that distinction.
Receipting and accounting. All Entry Fees will be recorded in BATTLEOP's books as administrative revenue and accounted separately from performance incentive funds. BATTLEOP will maintain an auditable ledger of Entry Fees and other revenues and make records available to the Authority on request. Operational controls will follow principles set out in the Zygarde template (segregated accounting and clear GST/TDS disclosures).
GST and invoicing. Entry Fees, service charges and deposit handling are subject to GST in accordance with applicable GST law and notifications. Users acknowledge that deposited amounts may be treated as inclusive of GST and that any refunds may be net of GST. BATTLEOP will issue invoices and collect taxes where required by law.
Transparent disclosure. At the point of purchase the Platform will display the components of any Entry Fee (administration, streaming, service charge, GST), and whether the Fee contributes to performance incentive funds.
Permitted funding sources. Performance incentive pools will be funded only from one or more of the following sources: (a) sponsor funds paid directly into the Performance incentive Account; (b) organiser funds of BATTLEOP; (c) discrete third party grants or marketing budgets; or (d) any other source expressly permitted by the Authority. Performance incentive money will not be constituted by pooled Entry Fees except where the Authority has given prior written approval.
Performance incentive Account. All sponsor and organiser performance incentive based rewards funds shall be deposited into and paid from the Performance incentive Account. The Performance incentive Account shall be held at a regulated bank, be subject to independent audit and shall be used only to pay performance incentive winners in accordance with the published payout schedule. Evidence of mandates, banking confirmations and audit outcomes will be produced to the Authority on request.
Segregation and ledger. Performance incentive funds will be recorded separately in BATTLEOP's books and reconciled regularly. Internal controls will prevent commingling of Entry Fee revenue and ed performance incentive funds. BATTLEOP shall maintain an auditable payout ledger showing source, receipt date, and payout date for performance incentive funds.
No proprietary rights in. Participants shall have no proprietary interest in the Performance incentive Account other than an entitlement to performance incentive amounts determined in accordance with Platform Rules and these Terms.
Platform Rules; determinism and skill. Each Tournament will be governed by a Tournament rulebook which specifies: match formats, participant eligibility, scoring metrics, tie-break tests, maps, allowed hardware/peripherals, conduct rules, anti-collusion provisions and disqualification grounds. Scoring metrics for performance incentive-bearing Tournaments will be deterministic and based on verifiable in-game telemetry to ensure outcomes are driven by skill and verifiable performance rather than material chance. These measures are intended to ensure compliance with the e-sport definition and avoid classification as an online money game.
No material random elements. Tournaments shall not include game mechanics that introduce material chance into performance incentive outcomes. Any randomised in-game features outside player control that could create a material chance advantage are disallowed unless expressly permitted in the Tournament rulebook and approved in writing by BATTLEOP and, where required, the Authority.
Publication and updates. Platform Rules will be published on the Platform. Material changes to Tournament formats that could affect classification or performance incentive structure will be notified to Users and to the Authority where required by the Act and Rules.
Anti-cheat measures. BATTLEOP will implement reasonable technical and operational anti-cheat measures including, where applicable: certified anti-cheat software/clients, telemetry capture, replay storage, behavioural analytics, anomaly detection, and independent referees for final stages. Users must comply with anti-cheat checks. Failure to comply is grounds for immediate suspension and disqualification.
Account linkage and device checks. BATTLEOP may require Users to permit account linkage, device fingerprinting and other verification checks to detect collusion, multi-accounting and bot usage.
Evidence retention. BATTLEOP will retain match replays, telemetry logs, audit logs and related records for a minimum of two (2) years (or longer if required by law or Authority direction). Such records will be provided to the Authority, law enforcement or any arbitrator on lawful request. This retention policy aligns with Rule provisions authorising the Authority to request evidence during inquiries.
Independent adjudication. For significant disputes BATTLEOP may appoint independent referees/arbitrators to rule on match integrity and appeals; their determinations shall be binding subject to appeal as provided in Clause 16 (Dispute resolution).
Performance incentive. Performance incentive will be made in the manner set out in the Tournament payout schedule and shall be subject to satisfactory KYC and bank verification. BATTLEOP may suspend performance incentive until the winner completes verification.
Tax withholding (TDS). BATTLEOP will withhold taxes at the rates required by applicable law (including TDS on performance incentive performance incentive) and shall issue withholding certificates as required. Users are responsible for reporting performance incentives and income to tax authorities in their jurisdictions. BATTLEOP may deduct TDS from payouts and will reflect such deductions on certificates.
Payment method and timing. Withdrawals will be processed to the User’s verified bank account as per Platform timelines and subject to banking cut-offs, KYC completion and fraud checks. BATTLEOP reserves the right to set minimum withdrawal thresholds and to impose reasonable withdrawal fees or service charges disclosed on the Platform.
Registration and recognition. BATTLEOP represents that it will operate its Platform and Tournaments in material conformity with the Act and Rules. Where recognition under the National Sports Governance Act or registration with the Authority is necessary for a Tournament to be an e-sport, BATTLEOP will seek and maintain such registration; Users accept that regulatory processes may evolve and may require changes to performance incentive funding or operations.
Authority directions and compliance. BATTLEOP will comply with directions and orders from the Authority; any Authority order may require remedial steps (including disclosures, suspension of events or blocking of services). BATTLEOP will provide the Authority with records and evidence as required for inquiries.
Regulatory risk. If the Authority determines that a registered game or Tournament has become an online money game, it may suspend or cancel registration and direct remedial action; BATTLEOP will comply and shall not be liable to Users for regulatory actions beyond its control.
Grounds for action by BATTLEOP. BATTLEOP may suspend or cancel any Tournament, User access or Account for fraud, cheating, breach of Platform Rules, attempted wagering, misuse, unlawful conduct, or to comply with Authority directions. Notice and remedy procedures (where applicable) will be observed consistent with the Act and Rules.
Material change and Authority notification. If BATTLEOP proposes any material change to a registered Tournament’s nature or revenue model that could affect classification as an online money game, it will notify the Authority and Users and will take remedial steps as required. Failure to notify may result in regulatory action including cancellation of registration.
Effect of Authority action. If the Authority suspends or cancels registration of any game or Tournament, BATTLEOP will follow Authority directions including suspension of relevant services, and where appropriate, instruct payment intermediaries or banks to hold or stop transactions in relation to the affected game.

This limitation does not apply to statutory damages or liabilities that cannot be excluded under law.
Users shall indemnify and hold harmless BATTLEOP and its officers, employees and agents from all claims, liabilities, losses, damages and costs (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of User breach of these Terms, unlawful activity, or attempts to wager, collude or manipulate match outcomes.

Mandatory Authority proceedings. Nothing in this Clause limits the Authority’s statutory powers (including determination, suspension, cancellation, penalties and appeals to the Appellate Authority) under the Act and Rules.
Amendments. BATTLEOP may update these Terms from time to time to comply with law or Authority directions. Material updates will be published on the Platform and notified to registered Users. Continued use after publication constitutes acceptance.
